Ryan Pancoast - Illustrator/Artist

Shelly and I will be there! Come find us and say hello :)

I guess this is simultaneously a cry for help and a brag because it’s my favorite too

@shivambhatt.bsky.social Shelly is gone for 24hrs. We have food in the fridge but my mother-in-law is worried I’ll starve so now I have enough pav bhaji and usal pav to feed 10 people

Go fuck yourself with a headline like that.

I have complicated and sometimes conflicting feelings about MtG and UB, but as always Donny has good insight and has a solid take on the thing. Thanks Donny!

Symbiote Spider-Man 16”x20” oil on canvas. For a private collector.

If you missed OAX or MagicCon I have some drawings and paintings on my site that may be of interest! Usually these are only available at events but these will be on my site for a week! www.ryanpancoast.com/store

I know this is a big step for you to take, not completely both-sidesing this. But honestly, fuck you for both-sidesing everything else, so that we got to this point. Fuck you.

It’s nothing earth shattering, just a lot of the commissions are a lot more specific to the mechanic now. They might request that she be draining the life force from a bear while her other hand turns into a bear claw, that kind of thing. Where this is more subtle and a great art piece as a result

Man Shelly Wan really did a great illustration here. It’s the kind of illustration that we rarely get away with now :(

That’s awesome! Happy to have you aboard!

For the past two months I've been working on a course/video series on oil painting and imaginative realism and this is the painting I did for the the course.

Welcome to BlueSky, exiles from Twitter! You’re in the right place.

Thank you for that Mike. Yes, it has been fulfilling, like finally being able to take a deep breath!

Thanks Davis!

Thanks Elliot!

Appreciate that Tyler!

Thank you! :)

For the past year I’ve been dedicating myself to doing more personal work. I was thrilled yesterday to hear that my painting Waking World was awarded 1st place in the “Outside the box” category in the Portrait Society of America Members Only Competition. Just wanted to share the good news :)

The rules say no AI, and while they can’t control what works get submitted, as a former juror I can say that to the best of my ability I weeded out AI where I saw it and ran some tests on others. I caught one artist, reported them, and they were disqualified

Outside filming for my oil painting course. Follow the link on my bio for more info

What started as turkey themed lunchbox notes for my kid is now touching on themes of mental health and collective bargaining… I think I might win an Eisner

This might not look like much, but I’m excited. This is the first day of construction/demolition for my first real studio!

Doing tests for the previously-mentioned video course

Sign up to my upcoming course!

Hey BlueSky, remember like 6 years ago when I stopped making process videos? Well, I've been given the opportunity to produce a whole video course. I'm working on it now, but if you want to sign up to get more info about releases/pricing, the sign up is here: www.waitlistcourse.com/rpancoast

Working on a new venture and going through old paintings. This was the 30"x40" painting I was working on when Jeremy Jarvis contacted me for my first MtG piece, Plains from M10. I guess I was painting flowers and figured I'd paint a few more!
